Clay / Paper Mache Art Camp

OK. This was seriously messy (with all the paper mache paste everywhere) BUT.... this week was seriously FUN! It went seriously quick! The week is already over for paper mache' and clay art camp week! The kids made some fabulous pieces.

 

Pictured here are their paper mache' projects, a mask and a turtle.  I wish I would have taken some close up pictures for you of these;  they were really quite good.   The kids also did 2 clay projects( not pictured).  Thanks to the Tickled Paint Pottery Store for the use of their Kiln! 
Ta, Ta for now!  See you next week for:
Scratch art and Watercolor and design a plate!

Yes you can!

We now have wheelchair access!
My husband, Justin, built a ramp for an art student that is coming to an art camp later this summer.   They use an electric wheelchair and needed the ramp in order to attend camp.  This makes me so happy and I hope more wheelchair bound students join us in the future.  Art class should be an opportunity for everyone because art provides confidence in a job well done,  allows you to put your thoughts on paper, encourages creativity, it uses critical thinking skills,  you make friends and here at Art with B Calvert, this is a safe place where you are never put down for your work.

 I made Jasmine sit here in the picture so you can see how big she has gotten! She is 9 mo old now.  Where is she during art class?  She sits in the room next door to the art class, she is not in class with us.   Maybe one day when she can sit in one place for an hour(or more) at a time; then she could sit with us in the art room!  =)

Have a great day in the sunshine everyone!

1st Art Camp in the new studio!

1st week of art camp is over!  We had a blast and I can't believe how time just flew by.  The kids created a lot of pictures this week!  They made new friends and memories were made.  What a fantastic time. I hope to see you all again soon!

Thank you kids for a fantastic week!  Also I want to say a big thank you to Faith and Rosita for being my assistants this week.  What a great support they were to me being my extra pair of hands!  =) 

NEXT................is clay/paper mache' art camp!  Are you signed up?  It is July 23-26, 1pm-2:30pm for 5yrs and up.

See you then,

We've Moved....5 minutes away!

This picture is of the entrance to my new art studio in Lynden!

Well, here we are moved into our new home at 1803 Kok Rd!  God has made his timing perfect for the move and we are in our new place as of this past weekend.    I am so excited to get the new art room set up and running!  To get to the new art classroom/studio, drive around the back of the house, park in the back and go through these sliding glass doors.

 

The first summer art camp starts July 9, so I need to be at least ready for that. Thanks for all your prayers this far as I know many of you had been praying.

Art Reception a Success!

We had a fun night at the artist reception at the Lynden Library last night!  Thanks to all who showed up and to those who weren't able to make it, we missed you!  You can still view the art up at the library through June 16th.  We will have it up through the adult art show.

Art was placed in the childrens section of the Library.

I got to see my art students and meet their parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents,etc.

My friend Jennifer handed out certificates and Lynden Chocolate Shop Chocolate on a stick to the artists represented. She also signed up students for next year's classes and for the summer art camps.
